Treats neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), and macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion. It is prescribed when abnormal blood vessel growth and fluid leakage in the retina threaten vision.

As a humanized single-chain antibody fragment, brolucizumab-Dbll binds to and inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), a protein that promotes abnormal blood vessel formation and increases vascular permeability. By blocking VEGF-A, it reduces neovascularization, decreases fluid leakage, and helps preserve or improve vision.

Administered via intravitreal injection by an eye care professional. Common side effects include eye redness, floaters, and mild eye discomfort. Serious risks include endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, and increased intraocular pressure. Regular follow-up injections are typically required for sustained benefit. Patients should report any signs of infection or vision changes immediately.
